The 26-year-old made 9 appearances for Tottenham before he returned to Spain at the end of the same season.

The winger becomes Dyche’s second signing as Everton’s manager after they completed that of Ashley Young ahead of the new season.
Speaking on the move, Danjuma said: “I think it makes it even more beautiful for me to join now.”

Everton will begin their Premier League season at home on Saturday, 12th August, 2023 against English rivals Fulham.
